The world population is growing, yet we continue to pursue higher
levels of well-being, and as a result, increasing energy demands
and the destructive effects of climate change are just two of many
major threats that we face. Engineers play an indispensable role in
addressing these challenges, and whether they recognize it or not,
in doing so they will inevitably encounter a whole range of ethical
choices and dilemmas. This book examines and explains the ethical
issues in engineering, showing how they affect assessment, design,
sustainability, and globalization, and explores many recent
examples including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster,
Dieselgate, 'naked scanners' at airports, and biofuel production.
Detailed but accessible, the book will enable advanced engineering
students and professional engineers to better identify and address
the ethical problems in their practice.
